Chapter 6: Digital Technologies in the Classroom

I would prefer to teach in a class with more technology.  I am going to be a High School Math teacher.  In high school math calculators are necessary for graphing and aiding in tough calculations.  The book states, "the possibilities for expanding their capabilities by the addition of digital peripherals are enormous."  I believe this is very true.  Teachers are preparing students to go out into the real world.  Without the ability to use technology in our world today students will have a disadvantage when trying to find a job later on in life.  From a more hands on experience with the electronic whiteboards to aiding students with speakers and headphones, electronics have the ability to enhance a students learning opportunity.  As a teacher, I want to do everything in my ability to help the students in their future career, and in using digital technologies I feel this is very possible.
